TERRIBLE Greedy Host! Host double books through Another booking site

I reserved this property weeks ago, telling the host I would be there with my 2yo son. Day of arrival there is no communication from host, I message before check in time for information on how to check in. No reply. My son and I arrive a bit after 7pm and go to the grocery store for food and to call host for check in instructions. Host ignores my call at first, then calls me back 5 minutes later. Host asks why I'm calling, I explain I need check in instructions, host confused asks me if I'm sure... I tell host yes today is the day of our arrival and we are ready to go to the home. Host then apologizes and says another family is already checked in. At this point I realize any argument is futile, host does not care about our predicament. I ask host to cancel the reservation and begin the refund process. Host has the audacity to message after they cancel, after 8pm now, and state "the reservation is canceled and you should be able to book another vrbo". So after 8pm on a Fri night in a very small town and the host somehow thinks I'd be able to secure another vrbo. Hotel rooms were all booked, so my 2yo son and I stay in a very sub par motel, only rooms I could find, only other option was driving a couple hours to nearest town. Oh and vrbo says it could take 15 business days for me to receive my refund! Terrible host, terrible polices on vrbo, terrible experience.

Response from VrboOwner on 8 Sept 2023
I am very sorry for this predicament. It is not greed that motivated me, but an honest mistake. This listing is on more than one platform and i am new to VRBO. I thought the software was in place to prevent booking conflicts, but it was not. Unfortunately your booking coincided with another family but was not aware. Once we spoke I took immediate action with VRBO to rectify the situation for you. I deeply regret my error but it was not deliberate. Nor was it in any way an act of greed.
